>>> Hello Ayreton,>> I've been asked by a lady at my sister's church, Plymouth Congregational> Church in Plainfield (> http://tiptopwebsit e.com/websites/ index2.php? username= plymouth_ congregational)> if we can provide any demo support for the church's display during> Plainfield Fest, July 17-18. They asked last year, but it overlapped with> Simple Day, so the church
developed and ran their "renaissance faire" on> their own. This year, if we can provide any support, they would love to have> us.>> Plainfield Fest actually runs for three days, July 16-18, but we wouldn't> be needed/expected the entire time. The coordinator said: "We will probably> participate on the Saturday and possibly on the Sunday, and from last year,> it probably won't start until the afternoon, as we didn't get much response> in the earlier hours. We have an area where you could do your demonstrations> either in front of the church steps or in the side yard – we have several> tables set up under a canopy where we sell items and baked goods. We would> feature demonstrations at whatever times you can give us, either set times> (1 p.m., 3 p.m. 5 p.m.) or in one continuous time slot. We are simply> looking for people who will attract attention to our area,
and events that> we can advertise (Sword fighting demonstration at 2 p.m!) in the paper and> on our posters. We'd love to have some music too, if that can be provided.">> I believe we would be able to hand out SCA flyers as a recruiting tool - I> can confirm that with the coordinator.>> Is there any interest in participating? I realize there is still quite a> bit of time before this would take place. I have never organized and run a> demo – what timeframe would be appropriate for finalizing our commitment and> confirming with the church?>> If I can get a little input from someone who is experienced in running> demos, it would be most appreciated.>> Thank you,>> Elianora Saunfayle>> >
